This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I can confirm that he is a nice guy by NDoggie78

If you are ever in Dunne Hall, there is a picture/plaque where he has a message for the students. I have a picture on my phone, but couldn't find one on the internet. It has a picture of Jimmy and 4 roommates (all great guys, too) back then and now. It mentions the 5 guys met in 1974 and "became close friends and stayed that way ever since"

"They ask you to please look around: this is an extraordinary opportunity to make memories and forge enduring bonds. As life progresses, the friends you make here will serves as a bedrock and perpetual source of peace, continuity and laughter"

"The University of Notre Dame bestows many blessings of both spirit and mind. The friendships formed here will have an equally lasting and profound impact. Cherish your friends."

"This Hall is meant as an expression of gratitude from five college roommates with sincere wishes that every student who passes through these halls has the good fortune of true friendship."
